Shipping &Order Information

Details about next day shipping, oversize items, transit time and more. Made a measuring mistake? Don’t worry -- we’ve got you covered.

Next Day Shipping & In-Store Pickup

We make what we sell. Because of this, we can make your custom blinds and shades quickly and ship them the next business day or have them available for pickup in one of our local Showrooms.

We are proud to offer free FedEx Ground shipping in the 48 contiguous United States on standard orders. During checkout, the system will provide an estimated delivery date based upon our manufacturing schedule and estimated time in transit.

In-store pickup is not yet available online but our local (Maryland, DC, Virginia) customers who prefer to measure and install themselves can choose this option when they place their order in a Showroom.

Once your order has shipped and left our manufacturing facility, it is in the hands of FedEx (or common freight carrier in the case of oversize items) for delivery to you. Add their delivery days based on the shipping method to determine your delivery date.

Orders with 12 or more units may require additional production time.
For our Showroom customers, this excludes our Shutters and Hunter Douglas ® brand products.

Ground Days in Transit

This map applies to our free Ground shipping methods of FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery. It shows the estimated number of days in transit after your shipment leaves our manufacturing facility in Jessup, MD, to when FedEx will deliver it to you.

During checkout, we determine if your shipping address is commercial or residential and ship with the appropriate ground method.

FedEx Ground (commercial) business days are Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).

FedEx Home Delivery (residential) business days are Tuesday through Saturday (excluding holidays).

Example:
A package shipped via FedEx Ground on Monday from our factory in Maryland to Ohio would have an estimated transit schedule of 2 business days, (not including the day the package is shipped). This order would be expected for delivery on Wednesday. However, if the package shipped on Friday with a 2-day transit schedule it would be expected for delivery the following Tuesday.
Remember, during checkout, the system will provide an estimated delivery date based upon our manufacturing schedule and estimated time in transit.

We do not ship to PO box, APO/FPO, or international addresses. Please inspect your shipment upon arrival. If your product is damaged in transit, please contact us within 14 days for a remake at no charge.

Oversize Items

Oversize items have an additional surcharge and are usually sent via a common freight carrier, therefore we cannot quote a specific delivery date. Please allow 7-10 business days from the ship date to arrive.

What qualifies as an oversize item? An oversize item is defined as any unit that is 94” or wider OR a vertical blind unit that is over 94” in either height or width.

What is the cost to ship an oversize item? A surcharge is applied of either 20%/unit or $70/unit, whichever is greater.

What if my order contains standard and oversize items? The oversize surcharge will only apply to the items in your order which are oversized.

What if my oversize item arrives damaged? Because oversize items ship via common freight carrier, it is highly recommended that you inspect your product upon arrival. There is a 14-day time period to report a damaged product to us for a remake at no charge.

Multiple Shipments

Depending on your order, you may receive multiple shipments. This is most common with when there are more units on an order or where there is a variety of product types in the order.

Alaska and Hawaii

Standard shipments to Alaska and Hawaii must ship FedEx 2Day®. The cost of shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is the charge for FedEx 2Day plus 20% of each unit’s cost. For example, a two blind order of $325 will have a $115 shipping fee ($25/unit for FedEx 2Day + 20% of each unit’s price).

Oversize shipments to Alaska and Hawaii are sent via common freight carrier. The oversize charge (above) applies plus 20% of each unit’s cost. For example, an order with two oversize blinds ($250/ea, $500 total) will have a shipping fee of $240 ($70/ea oversize item + 20% of each unit’s price).

Changes, Cancellations & Returns

We want you to be happy with your order. It is important that you are sure of your decisions before you finalize your purchase. You can order free swatches to get fabric and color samples in your home to assist in finalizing your decision. Also, follow our measuring instructions to ensure the right fit.

We build your products to the exact specifications that you provide. We do not stock or inventory any premade products – everything is custom built, one window covering at a time. Because we are a custom business, we cannot resell a product should you change your mind. Once you submit your order, it is immediately sent to our manufacturing facility and the process begins. Therefore, there are no changes, exchanges, returns or refunds.
